Abstract: A method for increasing the dynamic range of a time-delay integration (TDI) image comprises 
assigning a value N to a line-number setting, and generating each of a plurality of integrated 
lines forming the TDI image by (a) selecting each of a series of N lines from a corresponding 
one of a sequence of captured images, and (b) integrating the series ofN lines to form said each 
of the plurality of integrated lines. The brightness of the TDI image is evaluated, and based on 
the brightness, the line-number setting is updated to a value different from N. Another method 
for increasing the dynamic range of a TDI image comprises, for each TDI pixel of a plurality 
of TDI pixels of the image: initializing a TDI pixel value of each TDI pixel to a value of a first 
corresponding pixel in a first one of a sequence of captured images; adding to the TDI pixel 
value, if the TDI pixel value is less than a ceiling value, a contribution based on a value of an 
additional corresponding pixel in an additional one of the sequence of captured images; and 
scaling, after the addition, the TDI pixel value based on a number of contributions added to the 
TDI pixel value.

SOLUTION: Two speakers RS, LS are provided on the right and left sides of a driver's seat. If a direction information 'right direction' exists on a route guidance, the volume of the right speaker RS is increased and that of the left speaker LS is decreased to move an sound image from a point Y to a point Z during outputting of a guidance voice and a direction indicating voice. If a direction information 'left direction' exists on the route guidance, the volume of the right speaker RS is decreased and that of the left speaker LS is increased to move the sound image from the point Y to a point X during outputting.

Abstract: In a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) a rotodynamic blood pump (10) is powered by a brushless DC motor (12). A power supply (14) supplies power to the motor (12). Three feedback channels, one for each of voltage, current, and motor speed lead to a microcontroller or microprocessor (18). The three feedback waveforms are analyzed, and from these waveforms, motor input power, patient heart rate, current pump flow rate, and systemic pressure are determined. The microprocessor (18) then calculates a desired flow rate proportional to the patient heart rate. The microprocessor communicates a new power output to a commutation circuit (16), which regulates power to the motor (12). The pump (10) also includes safety checks that are prioritized over desired pump flow. These include prevention of ventricular suction, low pulsatility, minimum and maximum pump speed, minimum speed-relative pump flow, minimum absolute pump flow, minimum and maximum motor input power.
